STATEMENT

I see my works of being fragments of a larger universe that could unfold infinitely in any direction.

These worlds reveal themselves to me in a largely improvisatory process where I search for forms and textures through independent elements like lines. The communication between these elements reveal textures, layers, grids, forms, and patterns in a way that I can not calculate at the beginning of a work. They not only stretch beyond the borders of the piece, but also in depth. Often I am researching and questioning what lies behind these layers. It is not invisible, only vague and blurry, patterns on top of patterns, or artifacts of memory.

​

My work has its roots in the visual world of Archeology, as well as my interest in serialism, stratigraphy, minimalism and the poetry of patterns. Archeology is a way to document and describe the world’s past. The layers in my work are not fixed in natural history, but develop independently using their own logic and systems. While I may free them from the rules of science, my work is still tied to an internal structure. I invite the viewer to research these structures themselves and to speculate on the nature of the larger universe that each work implies.
